Thomas Lister

Marriage: Mary Lockwood

General Notes:

John Mary Lockwood is the son of Mary William Lockwood. There are no records to show that Thomas Lister is the father of John Mary Lockwood. Thomas Lister & Mary Lockwood were never married. The source for John's parentage comes from the descendant's of James Lockwood, John's oldest son, who remained in England when all but his brother Simeon left for America in the 1850's. The story, which has persisted for the last 162 years is that the Lister family paid for the Lockwoods to come to America because Thomas Lister was John's father. They are adamant that this is true.
